Sure, it is here:
https://blinet.ml/pdfocr.sh
One uses it like so:
$ pdfocr.sh input.pdf > output.txt
I originally wrote this for myself, so there might be some issues.
There are probably also much better ways of accomplishing this in a
shell script. If anyone can suggest refinements I'll be glad for them.

I usually get the best results with Chromium's built-in PDF reader. It places each page in a landmarked
region, allowing you to quickly jump between pages with m and shift+m. It also supports at least some PDF
accessability tags.
For broken PDFs requiring some cleanup I use pdftotext from poppler to convert them to text. If the PDF is
really badly broken, or if it's an image PDF, I use pdftocairo to convert each page to a PNG image, and
Tesseract to OCR the images (I have a small shell script to automate this process).

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. I'm after an accessible .pdf reader, so I can,
well, read pdfs and I've no idea where to start. Any help is appreciated
